01
Your coaching rhythm
Learn. Practice. Send. Adjust.
2
Practice at home
Follow a clear plan built around short, repeatable sessions that fit everyday life.
3
Upload one video each week
Your coach reviews it with you for discussion and specific feedback on timing, handling and your dog’s response.

Ask focused questions during stated weekday support hours so small issues do not stall progress.
02
Why coaching matters
There is no module for every in-depth problem.
Every dog and owner are different. The modules teach the foundations, while individualized coaching happens through three separate forms of support: your weekly 45-minute private video call, one separate training-video upload each week for discussion and feedback, and weekday text communication with your coach.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Basic Obedience is designed for dogs of all ages, from puppies through adult dogs. Your coaching is adjusted to your dog’s age, experience, temperament and current skill level. Dogs with aggression, bite history or more serious behavior concerns should go through the behavior-program screening process so the right coaching path can be selected.
You meet privately with your coach for a 45-minute video call each week. You review progress, troubleshoot what is happening in real life and leave the call with a clear plan for the next week.
Yes. Your 45-minute private video coaching call each week is separate from your weekly training-video upload and separate from weekday text support. You receive all three forms of support during the program.
You upload one training video each week for discussion and feedback in addition to your private weekly coaching call. Your coach uses the uploaded video to look at timing, handling, your dog’s response and any adjustments that will make the next practice sessions clearer.
Most clients can begin with a standard leash, an appropriate collar or harness, food rewards and a phone or camera for the weekly video. Your coach can recommend changes based on your dog and the exercises being taught.
After enrollment you complete your Dog Profile and receive instructions for your private coaching, member materials and the next steps for getting started.
We understand that life happens. If you need to reschedule or make a change, we’ll work with you whenever possible. Scheduling, cancellations, refunds and participation are governed by the New Canine Living Service Agreement and Terms accepted during enrollment. Those formal terms control if there is ever a difference between a brief website explanation and the agreement.
